MD-102 Prepare infrastructure for devices Practice Question
You need to deploy a custom Windows 10 image to 100 new devices using Microsoft Intune. The devices are not yet enrolled. Which method should you use to deploy the image and enroll the devices?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use Windows Autopilot to deploy a custom image and automatically enroll the devices.
Windows Autopilot is the correct method because it can deploy a custom Windows 10 image and automatically enroll devices into Intune, providing a zero-touch deployment experience. Option A is incorrect because PXE boot is not natively supported by Intune and a provisioning package alone cannot deploy an image. Option B is incorrect because creating a bootable USB and manually enrolling each device is not scalable for 100 devices and does not leverage Intune's automated enrollment. Option C is incorrect because while Configuration Manager can deploy images, co-management is an additional configuration and not the simplest approach for this scenario; Windows Autopilot is the recommended method for modern deployment with Intune.
